I totally understand that overreach makes hunting and recreational shooting activities a lot more difficult.

On the flipside, it means that assembly in Canada is peaceful by default without the constant threat of escalation into gun violence as can happen in the USA. It means that in our cities, 19 times out of 20 we only have to worry about pointy objects being potentially used as weapons by people walking down the street rather than guns.

The styling of firearms is just for show over safety I agree. But maintaining a culture of responsibly using firearms as a privilege of partaking in the sport, rather than as a right, is a distinction that gives us Canadians a better quality-of-life overall. There's far fewer grey areas in Canada as to where and what guns should be legally used for.

The best bike infrastructure in the GTA is no match for the stupidest drivers in the GTA.

On the other side of the country, here in Vancouver, a couple times a year you get a car that decides to turn into the separated bicycle lane.

Honestly inviting anyone over is motivation for me to clean. In my own space, there's stuff everywhere, but when someone's coming my standards for personal cleanliness and organization shoot up dramatically.

Once in a blue moon there will be a Reddit-style comment chain on Lemmy, I can tolerate it occasionally when the situation warrants it. When I left Reddit, I was getting tired of every top thread having at least one of the same joke template replies and I'm sure it hasn't gotten any better since.

Lemmy's issues are with leftist vs. liberal infighting I would say.

Noooo, what will happen to the industrial disaster recreation videos channel?

Oh the Urbanity, a Canadian couple discussing housing and transit !urbanism@video.canadiancivil.com

Some people are addicted to sugar to the point where every beverage must be sweet flavoured.

I have water, but othertimes I am sugar addicted so I want a different beverage.

Also I have had tap water in various places across Canada. Most are decent, some are especially delicious, some have awful after tastes and even smell weird (sulfur or chlorine). If that stuff runs to your home I can understand why people prefer bottled water, tea or soda instead of tap water.

More people visible at a cancelled protest than some ego-stroking event that happened in DC...

Might be the time for Minnesota to join Canada, Tim. Think big.

If you want to end politically-motivated gun violence becoming normalized, time to leave the USA and ban guns not used for hunting or within shooting ranges.

Obviously, yes. Those topics were touched on at the local rally.

Yeah, with the official act things clearly the Roberts Supreme Court wants their finger on everything unconstitutional the Trump administration does.

I'll be out there today in solidarity with your democracy. The people are the last bastion of resistance to fascism.

Ohhh it's sometimes fine to not follow due process. Yeah just a matter of debate of how violent of a criminal we claim someone to be!

Fuck off with that. Due process is due process for everybody, otherwise there is no justice.

(The answer is it just broke and there are a lot of newsworthy things happening today)

It was an almost inevitable succession to robbers cosplaying as ICE. If one is deemed normal, then extrajudicial killings where in the moment you believe it's illegal to defend yourself will be normalized too. If this is allowed to stand, or your president would pardon this kind of violence, your country is lost.

Thanks 캐럴라인 레빗 for your unwavering truthful reporting of Dear Leader.

The name on the court document was wrong. Only a US citizen and her kids were present when Noem and ICE arrived, so all they did was search the house, turn around the doorbell camera, bring them all out, and harass them while brandishing their firearms. Great job...

Trump still has the option to bring it to the Sycophantic Court of the United States.

Proof by induction seduction

Well, here's hoping you have a better time with us on Lemmy! My Reddit account is 8 years old, but I stopped using it and have been on Lemmy full time for 2 years now.

I think the issue is you are posting too early for Reddit, you should be commenting for the first week at least.

Essentially, the coarse-grained spam-filter assumes that anyone that has a whole bunch of posts ready to go the day they sign up is a bot spammer. Even here on Lemmy, if you sign up then immediately try to copy and paste a post 10 times to different communities, you will get reported and banned for spamming.

The principle behind it is like any social space online or offline: if you are a legitimate new member, you will start on the fringes and slowly settle in, from introducing yourself to a few members, attend events, to then asking questions, before making any influential speeches or going into a leadership position. Anyone trying to fast track that will be met with suspicion from members.

Reddit and Lemmy are similar in a sense. you start as a lurker, become a commentor, then you are well-adjusted enough to post.
